And if Alan really knows who he is, then Alan has to be aware that Matt will know if he's lying. Matt takes a long drink from his bottle, then turns to Alan, putting his hands on his hips to brace himself for what he's about to hear.
"There's a world that's next to our own. Sort of. Bad shit--uh. Wrong...things. Forces of darkness." He knows this sounds crazy.
He also knows Matt is aware he's telling the truth.
"Its... it's a fucked up mess and complicated, but the long story short us that I was stuck there. Trapped. And while I was trying to find out how to leave, I, uh..."
God. Alan breathes out. Touches his forehead.
"I think I connected with you. Subconsciously. And I was able to use you to project myself here."
"All this time you've been missing you were trapped in another world?"
It should sound crazy. Matt hates that it doesn't. Between the invasion led by Loki and Danny Rand being stuck in a realm that exists outside human space, this doesn't seem all that unbelievable.
"And all of those ... Dark things. Did they come with you?"
"Yes." It's not the entire truth, but it's enough. It's a start. He exhales.
"The rules are different. They're different here, too--I saw you." Creepy? Probably creepy. Alan's head is pounding.
"Sometimes visions trickle down, you..." a sigh.
"I saw you. Fighting, at first. Glimpses. And when I saw you at court, too, I put two and two together. A focal point I could write my way to. You basically saved my life."

"Should I ... Help you find someone?"

"I can't do it again. Not to the people I know." A glance at Matt. "You of all people should understand."

Matt does, actually, understand. He did pretty much the same thing, but he purposely hid himself away. Alan didn't.
